Tuesday at the 2009 NLC...

Once again, members, chaperones, advisors and volunteers had little time to rest! Everyone was on the move, competing in STAR Events, attending workshops, and checking out the exhibits here at the meeting. This afternoon the delegation assembled for the Business Session. Here we heard a summary of the NEC's activities, membership activity, and the organization's financial status.

The NEC let us have another glimpse into the "Real World" of FCCLA. It will be exciting to see who wins the competition taking place in the Real World FCCLA house. While we don't know who will win the Real World Competition until the Closing General Session, winners of several scholarships and national program awards were announced today. Congratulations to all of the winners! Your projects truly helped FCCLA move Beyond the Label!

At the close of this session, our 2009-2010 National Officers were announced. I apologize for not writing down the names of the new officers, but I can tell you that officers were elected from the following states: At Large-- South Carolina, South Dakota, Missouri, Florida, Oklahoma, Kentucky; Central Region--South Dakota; North Atlantic Region--Connecticut; Pacific Region--Colorado; Southern Region--Texas;

After the Business Session adjourned, members headed to Nashville Shores for the FCCLA Lakeside Beach Party!
